Online Therapy
While meeting face-to-face in a therapist's office remains the preferred way of doing therapy for many people, online therapy has grown in popularity in recent years. There are many benefits to meeting a therapist remotely, via video conferencing platform: the convenience of doing therapy in the comfort and privacy of your own home; time saved travelling to and from the therapist's office; not having to find parking and other logistical issues.
How it Works
Online therapy is flexible to the needs of each individual. Some clients like to start out meeting face-to-face before switching to online therapy once the relationship is established; others prefer to do online therapy exclusively from the start; while a hybrid approach suits others, switching between face-to-face and online therapy. The primary platform I use for online sessions is Google Meet. This is a secure, easy to use platform and there is no requirement to set up an account. I send you the link to the meeting via email around 10 minutes before the agreed session time.
Phone Therapy
Online therapy does not suit everyone for various reasons (e.g. spotty internet connection, difficulty using video conference apps). If attending in person or via video link is not possible, I also offer sessions over the phone. For these sessions, I call the phone number you have provided at the agreed session time.
